NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2008

(unaudited)

1. Description of Business

DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. (“we”, “us”, the “Company” or “DFT”) was formed on March 2, 2007 and is headquartered in Washington, D.C. The Company is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed company formed primarily to own, acquire, develop and operate wholesale data centers. We will elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2007 upon filing our federal income tax return for such year. We are the sole general partner of, and own 53.2% of the economic interest in, DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). Through the Operating Partnership, we hold a fee simple interest in five operating data centers – referred to as ACC2, ACC3, ACC4, VA3, VA4 and CH1, three data center properties under development – referred to as ACC5, NJ1 and SC1 – and land that may be used to develop two additional data centers – which would be referred to as ACC6 and ACC7. For more information regarding these properties, see note 3 to the notes to consolidated financial statements.

We completed our initial public offering of common stock (the “IPO”) on October 24, 2007. The IPO resulted in the sale of 35,075,000 shares of common stock, including 4,575,000 shares as a result of the underwriters exercising their over-allotment option, at a price per share of $21.00, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $736.6 million. The proceeds to the Company, net of underwriters’ discounts, commissions, financial advisory fees and other offering costs, were $676.9 million. We contributed the proceeds of our IPO to our Operating Partnership in exchange for a number of units of limited partnership interest of our Operating Partnership (“OP units”) equal to the number of common shares sold in the IPO.

Prior to August 7, 2007, each of our initial properties, or data centers, was directly owned by a single-property entity. To facilitate the closing of a credit facility with KeyBank National Association (the “KeyBank Credit Facility”) on August 7, 2007 and in contemplation of the IPO, we combined the membership interests in the entities that hold interests in VA3, VA4, ACC2, ACC3 and CH1 into one holding company, Safari Ventures LLC (“Safari”), in order for those membership interests and certain of those properties to serve as collateral for the KeyBank Credit Facility. Following the closing of the KeyBank Credit Facility, each of the former members of the property-holding entities held a direct or indirect equity interest in Safari. Safari made borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility to purchase land in Ashburn, Virginia that is being held for use in the development of ACC5 and ACC6. For accounting purposes, Quill Ventures LLC, the entity that owns ACC3, was determined to be the accounting acquirer (the “Predecessor”) based on the guidance in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations, in the Safari transaction, and ACC2, VA3, VA4 and CH1 were determined to be the “Acquired Properties”. The financial position and results of operations of the Predecessor are presented on a historical cost basis and the contribution of the interests of ACC2, VA3, VA4 and CH1 has been recorded at their estimated fair value. Subsequent to August 6, 2007, Safari is the accounting predecessor, resulting in the recording of the financial position and results of operations of Safari at historical cost basis at the IPO.

Upon completion of the IPO, the Company entered into various formation transactions. The formation transactions included the issuance of 23,045,366 Operating Partnership Units (“OP Units”) and cash payments of $372.5 million (which included $274.0 million of cash used to retire the debt and fund other obligations related to ACC4) for total consideration of $856.5 million for the acquisition of the equity interests in Safari, the entity that owns ACC4 (a data center that was fully completed on October 30, 2007), land that is being held for use in the future development of data centers we refer to as NJ1 and ACC7 and a contract to acquire the land that will be used to develop SC1 and SC2. The contribution of the interests of ACC4 and the two undeveloped parcels of land were recorded at their estimated fair value. The Company also issued 8,116,906 OP units and made a cash payment of $6.1 million for total consideration of $176.5 million for the acquisition of the management, development, leasing, asset management and technical services agreements for these properties.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K.

 

7


Table of Contents

We have one reportable segment consisting of investments in data centers located in the United States.

These consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of our Predecessor through August 6, 2007 and reflect its acquisition of the Acquired Properties (effective August 7, 2007) and the acquisition of ACC4 and land held for the development of ACC7 and NJ1 (effective October 24, 2007) at their estimated fair values. Accordingly, the results of operations for 2007 include the results of operations of the Predecessor for all months in the reporting periods and the results of operations of the Acquired Properties from their date of acquisition, August 7, 2007 and ACC4, ACC7 and NJ1 from their date of acquisition, October 24, 2007. The financial statements up through October 23, 2007 also do not reflect the Company’s acquisition of property management and other services agreements and thus, the internalization of these services.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income-Producing Property

The Predecessor’s data center, ACC3, is recorded at cost, including the external direct costs of the acquisition. The Acquired Properties’ data centers (ACC2, VA3, VA4 and CH1) are recorded at their estimated fair value on the date of their acquisition, August 7, 2007. ACC4, ACC7, NJ1 and SC1 are recorded at their estimated fair value on the date of their acquisition, October 24, 2007.

We allocated the purchase price of the Acquired Properties, ACC4, ACC7, and NJ1, to the related physical assets and in-place leases based on their relative fair values, in accordance with SFAS No. 141. The fair values of acquired buildings are determined on an “as-if-vacant” basis considering a variety of factors, including the physical condition and quality of the buildings, estimated rental and absorption rates, estimated future cash flows, and valuation assumptions consistent with current market conditions. The “as-if-vacant” fair value is allocated to land, building, improvements, and any personal property based on replacement cost estimates and other relevant information.

The fair value of in-place leases consists of the following components as applicable—(1) the estimated cost to replace the leases, including foregone rents during the period of finding a new tenant, foregone recovery of tenant pass-through, tenant improvements, and other direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant (referred to as Tenant Origination Costs); (2) the estimated leasing commissions associated with obtaining a new tenant (referred to as Leasing Commissions); and (3) the above/below market cash flow of the leases, determined by comparing the projected cash flows of the leases in place to projected cash flows of comparable market-rate leases (referred to as Lease Intangibles). Tenant Origination Costs are included in buildings and improvements on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and are amortized as depreciation expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the underlying leases. Leasing Commissions are classified as deferred costs and are amortized as amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the underlying leases. Lease Intangible assets and liabilities are classified as lease contracts above and below market value, respectively, and amortized on a straight-line basis as decreases and increases, respectively, to rental revenue over the remaining term of the underlying leases. Should a tenant terminate its lease prior to the expiration of the initial term, the unamortized portions of the Tenant Origination Cost, Leasing Commissions, and Lease Intangibles associated with that lease are written off to depreciation expense, amortization expense, or rental revenue, respectively.

All capital improvements for the income-producing properties that extend their useful life are capitalized to individual building components, including interest and real estate taxes incurred during the period of development, and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Interest is capitalized during the period of development based upon applying the property’s weighted-average borrowing rate to the actual development costs expended up to specific borrowings and then applying the weighted-average borrowing rate of the Company to the residual actual development costs expended during the construction period. Interest is capitalized until the property has reached substantial completion and is ready for its intended use in accordance with SFAS No. 34, Capitalization of Interest Cost. Interest costs capitalized totaled $4.6 million and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $8.1 million and $0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Table of Contents

In accordance with SFAS No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, the Company capitalizes pre-development costs, including internal costs, incurred in pursuit of new development opportunities for which the Company currently believes future development is probable. Future development is dependent upon various factors, including zoning and regulatory approval, rental market conditions, construction costs and availability of capital. Pre-development costs incurred for which future development is not yet considered probable are expensed as incurred. In addition, if the status of such a pre-development opportunity changes, making future development by the Company no longer probable, any capitalized pre-development costs are written-off with a charge to expense. Furthermore, as provided under the guidance of SFAS No. 67, the revenue from incidental operations received from the current improvements in excess of any incremental costs are being recorded as a reduction of total capitalized costs of the development project and not as a part of net income. The capitalization of costs during the development of assets (including interest and related loan fees, property taxes and other direct and indirect costs) begins when development efforts commence and ends when the asset, or a portion of the asset, is delivered and ready for its intended use.

Depreciation on buildings is generally provided on a straight-line basis over 40 years from the date the buildings were placed in service. Building components are depreciated over the life of the respective improvements ranging from 20 to 40 years from the date the components were placed in service. Personal property is depreciated over three to seven years. Depreciation expense totaled $11.0 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $21.9 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations or in development when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the value of those assets might be impaired, and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts. If circumstances indicating impairment are present, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over its fair value. Management assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its assets on a property-by-property basis. No impairment losses were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, we classify a data center property as held-for-sale when it meets the necessary criteria, which include when we commit to and actively embark on a plan to sell the asset, the sale is expected to be completed within one year under terms usual and customary for such sales, and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Data center properties held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. As of June 30, 2008, there were no data center properties classified as held-for-sale and discontinued operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all demand deposits and money market accounts purchased with a maturity date of three months or less, at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Our account balances at one or more institutions periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. We mitigate this risk by depositing a majority of our funds with major financial institutions. We have not experienced any losses and believe that the risk is not significant.

Deferred Costs

Financing costs, which represent fees and other costs incurred in obtaining debt, are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective-interest method, over the term of the loan and are included in interest expense. Amortization of the deferred financing costs included in interest expense totaled $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 are as follows (in thousands):

Leasing costs, which are either external fees and costs incurred in the successful negotiations of leases, internal costs expended in the successful negotiations of leases or the estimated leasing commissions resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of the Acquired Properties and ACC4 under SFAS No. 141, are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases on a straight-line basis. If an applicable lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial term, the carrying

amount of the costs are written off to amortization expense. Amortization of deferred leasing costs totaled $1.1 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $2.2 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Inventory

We maintain fuel inventory for our generators, which is recorded at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the fuel inventory was $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Debt Obligations

Prior to the IPO, we entered into a debt agreement whose terms required certain additional costs and fees to be paid upon retirement of the debt. These additional costs and fees were accrued using the effective interest method and were recorded in interest expense with the related liability included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. This debt was retired in August 2007.

Interest Rate Derivative Instruments

We account for derivative activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which requires all derivative instruments to be carried at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. For those derivative instruments that are designated, and qualify, as hedging instruments, we designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. For derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, changes in fair value are immediately recognized in earnings. For those derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedge instruments is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.

Advance Rents

Advance rents, typically prepayment of the following month’s rent, consist of payments received from tenants prior to the time the payments are earned and are recognized as revenue in subsequent periods when earned.

Rental Income

We, as a lessor, have retained substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership and account for our leases as operating leases. For lease agreements that provide for scheduled rent increases, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the leases, which commences when control of the space and the critical power have been provided to the tenant. Straight-line rents receivable are included in deferred rent on the consolidated balance sheets. Lease Intangible assets and liabilities that have resulted from above-market and below-market leases that were acquired, are amortized on a straight-line basis as decreases and increases, respectively, to rental revenue over the remaining term of the underlying leases. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of Lease Intangibles associated with that lease will be written off to rental revenue. Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 are as follows (in thousands):

We record a provision for losses on accounts receivable equal to the estimated uncollectible accounts. The estimate is based on management’s historical experience and a review of the current status of our receivables. We will also establish, as necessary, an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts for receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents. This receivable arises from revenue recognized in excess of amounts currently due under the lease. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, no allowance was considered necessary.

Tenant leases generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse us for a portion of the property’s operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred by us. Recoveries from tenants are included in revenue in the consolidated statements of operations in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred.

Other Revenue

Other revenue primarily consists of services provided to our tenants on an ad-hoc basis. Revenue is recognized on a completed contract basis. Costs of providing these services are in other expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

We will elect to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2007 upon filing our federal income tax return for such year. In general, a REIT that meets certain organizational and operational requirements and distributes at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders in a taxable year will not be subject to income tax to the extent of the income it distributes. We currently qualify and intend to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code. As a result, no provision for federal income taxes on income from continuing operations is required, except for taxes on certain property sales and on income, if any, of our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our income at regular corporate tax rates for the year in which we do not qualify and the succeeding four years. Although we expect to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to state and local income and franchise taxes and to federal income and excise taxes on any undistributed income.

We have elected to treat DF Technical Services LLC, a 100% owned subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, as a TRS of ours. In general, a TRS may perform non-customary services for tenants, hold assets that the Company cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. A TRS is subject to corporate federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at regular statutory tax rates.

The Predecessor was not subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income. Results of operations of the Predecessor are included proportionately in the federal income tax returns of the individual members; therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for periods prior to October 24, 2007.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income, as reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity, is defined as all changes in equity during each period except those resulting from investments by or distributions to stockholders or members. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as also reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity, reflects the effective portion of cumulative changes in the fair value of derivatives in qualifying cash flow hedge relationships. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, comprehensive income consisted only of net income.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common and dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.

Stock-based Compensation

We have awarded stock-based compensation to employees, contractors and members of our Board of Directors in the form of common stock and LTIP units. These awards are accounted for under SFAS No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 123, which was effective January 1, 2006. We had no stock-based compensation awards outstanding prior to our IPO in October 2007. This pronouncement requires that we estimate the fair value of the awards and recognize this value over the requisite vesting period. The fair value of LTIP units is based on the market value of our common stock on the date of the grant less a discount for post-vesting transferability restrictions estimated by a third-party consultant. Non-cash stock based compensation expense, which is included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations, totaled $0.4 million and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $0.7 million and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Profits, Losses and Distributions

For periods prior to October 24, 2007, the profits and losses of the Predecessor were allocated to the individual members in accordance with their respective limited liability company agreements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities–Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits an entity to elect to measure eligible items at fair value (“fair value option”) including many financial instruments. The objective of this statement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The provisions of this statement were effective for us as of January 1, 2008. If the fair value option is elected, the Company would report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. The fair value option may be applied for a single eligible item without electing it for other identical items, with certain exceptions, and must be applied to the entire eligible item and not to a portion of the eligible item. The Company did not elect the fair value option with respect to any eligible item and, therefore, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. This statement changes the accounting for acquisitions specifically eliminating the step acquisition model, changing the recognition of contingent consideration from being recognized when it is probable to being recognized at the time of acquisition, disallowing the capitalization of transaction costs and delays when restructurings related to acquisitions can be recognized. The standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008 and will impact the accounting only for acquisitions we make after its adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51. Under this statement, noncontrolling interests are considered equity and thus our practice of reporting minority interests in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet will be eliminated. Also, under the new standard, net income will encompass the total income of all consolidated subsidiaries and there will be separate disclosure on the face of the income statement of the attribution of that income between controlling and noncontrolling interests. Last, increases and decreases in noncontrolling interests will be treated as equity transactions. The standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from the prior year have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation.

4. Leases

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, two tenants accounted for 71% and 70%, respectively, of our total operating revenue. As of June 30, 2008, these two tenants accounted for $0 and $0.2 million of rents and other receivables, respectively. As of June 30, 2008, these two tenants also accounted for $9.8 million and $7.8 million of deferred rent, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, one tenant accounted for 100% of the total consolidated data center rental income. The Company does not hold security deposits from these tenants. The majority of tenants operate within the technology industry and, as such, their viability is subject to market fluctuations in that industry.

5. Debt

On August 7, 2007, the Company entered into a $200.0 million secured term loan and a $275.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (together the “KeyBank Credit Facility”), of which a principal balance of $262.0 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2008.

Upon consent of the lender, the revolving facility may be increased by up to $200.0 million to a total borrowing capacity of $475.0 million depending on certain factors, including the value of, and debt service on, the properties included in our borrowing base. In order to take advantage of all of the $200.0 million increase in the revolving credit facility, we anticipate that, among other things, we would need to add properties to the borrowing base. The revolving facility matures on August 7, 2010, but includes an option whereby we may elect, once, to extend the maturity date by 12 months. The term loan is an interest-only loan with the full principal amount due at maturity on August 7, 2011, with no option to extend.

As of June 30, 2008, the interest rate on our term loan was LIBOR (2.4625% at June 30, 2008) plus 1.50%, which we have effectively fixed at 6.497% through the use of an interest rate swap. The interest rate associated with the revolving facility is LIBOR plus 1.25% as of June 30, 2008.

Four of our operating properties–VA3, VA4, ACC2 and ACC3–comprise our current borrowing base with an aggregate book value of $587.8 million as of June 30, 2008, along with the assignments of rents and leases at these properties. In addition, we may in the future choose to add some or all of the other properties that we acquired upon the completion of the IPO or other properties that we may acquire or develop in the future to the borrowing base in order to, among other things, increase the amount that we may borrow under the revolving facility. Once added to the borrowing base, properties may be removed only with the approval of our lenders. In addition, the revolving facility and term loan contain customary covenants. As of June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants.

As part of the KeyBank refinancing, Safari repaid the mortgage loan on ACC3 totaling $125.2 million in the third quarter of 2007. On December 20, 2007, Tarantula Ventures LLC, the owner of CH1, entered into a $148.9 million construction loan with KeyBank National Association relating to the refinancing of CH1, of which $119.7 million was outstanding at June 30, 2008. The loan bears interest at a variable interest rate equal to the sum of the one-month LIBOR (2.4625% at June 30, 2008) plus 2.25%. The loan matures on December 20, 2009 and can be extended for an additional 12 months subject to certain conditions and payment of an extension fee equal to $0.4 million (0.25% of the note amount). The loan is collateralized by the CH1 assets with an aggregate net book value of $209.2 million at June 30, 2008.

At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, debt balances outstanding were as follows (dollars in thousands):

 

     June 30,

6. Derivative Instruments

On August 15, 2007, Safari entered into a $200.0 million interest rate swap agreement with KeyBank National Association to manage the interest rate risk associated with a portion of the KeyBank Credit Facility effective August 17, 2007 with a maturity date of August 7, 2011. This swap agreement effectively fixes the interest rate on $200.0 million of the KeyBank Credit Facility at 4.997% plus the credit spread of 1.5%. We have designated this agreement as a hedge for accounting purposes. Therefore, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap has been recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and will be reclassified into interest expense as the hedged forecasted interest payments are recognized. Any ineffective portion of the hedging relationship will be recorded directly to earnings.

As of June 30, 2008, the cumulative reduction in fair value of the interest rate swap of $7.2 million was recognized as a liability and deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and no amounts were recognized in earnings as hedge ineffectiveness.

Derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties under the terms of the derivative instrument. The Company minimizes its credit risk on these transactions by dealing with major, creditworthy financial institutions as determined by management, and therefore, the Company believes the likelihood of realizing losses from counterparty non-performance is remote.

7. Related Party Transactions

Prior to the closing of the IPO on October 24, 2007:

 

   

DFD Technical Services LLC (DFTS), which is owned by our Executive Chairman and our President and CEO, was responsible for the management of the properties. Management fees incurred with DFTS were generally based on 5% of gross receipts collected for the properties and totaled $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

 

   

DuPont Fabros Development LLC (DFD), which is owned by our Executive Chairman and our President and CEO, earned an asset management fee. Asset management fees, which are included in management fees in the consolidated statements of operations, incurred with DFD totaled $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

 

   

Bookkeeping fees incurred with DFD totaled less than $0.1 million and less $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

   

DFD was reimbursed for salaries and overhead expenses related to operation management totaling $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. These fees are included in property operating costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Following the closing of the IPO, we pay rent for our headquarters building to an affiliate of our Executive Chairman and President and CEO. Rent expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

In addition, prepaid expenses and other assets includes amounts due from DFD and affiliates of $0.6 million at June 30, 2008, and due to related parties includes amounts due to DFD and affiliates of $0.5 million at June 30, 2007.

Related party payables are due on demand without interest.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

As of June 30, 2008, we had a contract with Holder Construction Group, LLC (“Holder”) to construct Phase 1 of CH1 for an amount not to exceed $157.0 million. As of June 30, 2008, costs incurred under the contract were $150.7 million.

Subsequent to June 30, 2008, we executed contracts with Holder to construct ACC5, NJ1 and SC1 for amounts not to exceed $173.1 million, $226.9 million and $257.5 million, respectively. Prior to these contracts, we had entered into various commitments that these contracts replaced.

Concurrent with our IPO, we entered into tax protection agreements with some of the contributors of the initial properties including our Executive Chairman and our President and CEO. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, if we dispose of any interest in ACC2, ACC3, ACC4, VA3, VA4 or CH1 that generates more than a certain allowable amount of built-in gain for the contributors, as a group, in any single year through 2016, we will indemnify the contributors for tax liabilities incurred with respect to the amount of built-in gain and tax liabilities incurred as a result of the reimbursement payment. The required indemnification will decrease ratably over the course of each year of tax protection by 10% of the estimated tax on the built-in gain, declining to zero by the end of 2016. The aggregate built-in gain on the initial properties at October 24, 2007, the date we completed our IPO, is estimated to be approximately $750.0 million (unaudited). Any sale by us that requires payments to any of our executive officers or directors pursuant to these agreements requires the approval of at least 75% of the disinterested members of our board of directors.

In 2007, we received three Notice of Violation from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (“VDEQ”) related to generators at three of our facilities. First, in March 2007, we were cited by the VDEQ compliance office about our emissions from the ACC2 diesel generators exceeding short-term emission limits. Second, on October 5, 2007, we received a notice of violation from VDEQ regarding certain diesel generators at ACC4. The notice asserts that construction and operation of the generators was commenced prior to receiving a required air permit from VDEQ for construction and operation of the generators and that the generators have been operating since June 2007 without an air permit. Third, on October 19, 2007, we received a notice of violation from VDEQ regarding certain diesel generators at one of our facilities in Northern Virginia, VA4. The notice asserts that the operation of our generators has not been in conformity with our air permit and that certain equipment added to the generators to reduce emissions has not been constructed, tested, and maintained in compliance with applicable regulations.

On August 4, 2008, we entered into a consent order with the VDEQ to resolve these matters. The order provides that we will pay a $ 0.5 million civil penalty and undertake various remedial actions to bring the facilities into compliance and reduce future emissions, including installation of pollution control equipment at certain facilities, at an estimated cost of $2.1 million, of which $0.7 million has been incurred and the remainder has been accrued at June 30, 2008.

At the time of our IPO, Messrs. du Pont and Fateh, our Executive Chairman and President and CEO, agreed to indemnify us against certain costs that we may incur as a result of the alleged violations cited in the October 5 and 19, 2007 notices from VDEQ, and set aside, as partial collateral for a portion of these obligations, certain funds accruing for the account of the former members of the entity that contributed VA4 to our Company. We, with the approval of our disinterested directors, determined that $0.4 million of the costs incurred by us in connection with the notices of violation, including a portion of our attorney’s fees, are covered by these indemnification obligations, which Messrs. du Pont and Fateh have agreed to pay and we have accrued a receivable for that amount as of June 30, 2008.

We are involved from time to time in other various legal proceedings, lawsuits, examinations by various tax authorities, and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations.

9. Minority Interests

Minority interests relates to the interest in the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company. OP unitholders receive distributions per unit equivalent to the per share distributions made to the Company’s common stockholders. Minority interests are adjusted for income, losses and distributions allocated to OP units not held by the Company. In the event of changes in common equity, an adjustment to minority interests in the Operating Partnership is recorded to reflect the Company’s increased or decreased ownership interest in the Operating Partnership. Upon completion of our IPO and contribution of the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership, minority interests owned 31,162,272 OP units, or

Table of Contents

approximately 46.8% of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30 2008, minority interests owned 31,162,272 units, or 46.8% of the Operating Partnership. Limited partners have the right to tender their OP units for redemption beginning 12 months after our IPO on October 24, 2007. The OP units can be exchanged for cash based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock or at the election of the Company for shares of common stock which have been registered. The redemption value of our minority interests at June 30, 2008 was $580.9 million, based on the closing share price of $18.64.

In addition, in 2007, the Company has issued 341,145 fully vested LTIP units to certain officers, employees, and consultants. LTIP units are a special class of partnership interests in our Operating Partnership. LTIP units, whether vested or not, will receive the same quarterly per unit profit distributions as OP units, which profit distribution will generally equal per share distributions on our shares of common stock. Initially, LTIP units will not have full parity with OP units with respect to liquidating distributions. Under the terms of the LTIP units, our Operating Partnership will revalue its assets upon the occurrence of certain specified events, and any increase in valuation from the time of grant until such event will be allocated first to the holders of LTIP units to equalize the capital accounts of such holders with the capital accounts of OP unitholders. Upon equalization of the capital accounts of the holders of LTIP units with the holders of OP units, the LTIP units will achieve full parity with OP units for all purposes, including with respect to liquidating distributions. If such parity is reached, vested LTIP units may be converted into an equal number of OP units at any time, and thereafter receive all the rights of OP units. However, there are circumstances under which such parity would not be reached. Until and unless such parity is reached, the value that a recipient will realize for a given number of vested LTIP units will be less than the value of an equal number of OP units. As of June 30, 2008, parity with the OP units had not been achieved and the LTIP units could not be converted into OP units.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

On May 20, 2008, we declared a regular cash dividend for the second quarter of 2008 of $0.1875 per common share which was paid on July 11, 2008 to stockholders of record as of June 27, 2008. In addition, holders of OP units and LTIPs also received a distribution of $0.1875 per unit. We recorded a payable as of June 30, 2008 of $12.6 million for this dividend and distribution.

11. Equity Compensation Plan

Concurrent with our IPO, our Board of Directors adopted the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan (“the Plan”). The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The plan allows for the issuance of common stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), performance unit awards and LTIP units. As of June 30, 2008, the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under this Plan pursuant to the exercise of options and SARs, the grant of stock awards, or LTIP units and the settlement of performance units is equal to 4,967,795, of which 809,001 share equivalents had been issued leaving 4,158,794 shares available for future issuance.

Beginning January 1, 2008, and on each January 1 thereafter during the term of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under this Plan pursuant to the exercise of options and SARs, the grant of stock awards or other-equity based awards and the settlement of performance units shall be increased by seven and one-half percent (7  1/2%) of any additional shares of common stock or interests in the Operating Partnership issued by the Company or the Operating Partnership; provided, however, that the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under this Plan shall be 11,655,525 shares.

If any award or grant under the Plan (including LTIP units) expires, is forfeited or is terminated without having been exercised or paid, then any shares of common stock covered by such lapsed, cancelled, expired or unexercised portion of such award or grant and any forfeited, lapsed, cancelled or expired LTIP units shall be available for the grant of other options, SARs, stock awards, other equity-based awards and settlement of performance units under this Plan.

The following table discloses the number of unvested shares of restricted stock and the weighted average fair value of these shares at the date of grant:

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value estimates are subjective in nature and are dependent on a number of important assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows, risks, discount rates, and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we would realize in a current market exchange.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value amounts and disclosures for financial instruments as of June 30, 2008:

 

   

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments (i.e., less than 90 days).

 

   

Rents and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividend and distribution payable, due to/from related parties, and advance rents: The carrying amount of these assets and liabilities reported in the balance sheet approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these amounts.

 

   

Debt: Borrowings are floating rate instruments and management believes that for similar financial instruments with comparable credit risks, the stated interest rates as of June 30, 2008 (floating rates at spreads over a market rate index) approximate market rates. Accordingly, the carrying value is believed to approximate fair value.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances. In February 2008, the FASB issued two Staff Positions on SFAS No. 157: (1) FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-1 (“FSP 157-1”), Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement Under Statement 13, and (2) FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 (“FSP 157-2”), Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. FSP 157-1 excludes FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, as well as other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements on lease classification or measurement under Statement 13, from SFAS 157’s scope. FSP 157-2 partially defers SFAS 157’s effective date to January 1, 2009 for all non financial assets and non financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.

 

17


Table of Contents

SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Derivative financial instruments

Currently, the Company uses one interest rate swap to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of this instrument is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair value of our interest rate swap is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

To comply with the provisions of SFAS No. 157, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contract for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value the derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivative utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2008, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative position and has determined that the credit valuation adjustment is not significant to the overall valuation of the interest rate swap. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuation, in its entirety, is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2008, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions, which do not relate solely to historical matters, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution you that while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

For a detailed discussion of certain of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and the various other factors identified in other documents filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The risks and uncertainties discussed in these reports are not exhaustive. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and new risk factors may emerge from time to time. It is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Overview

DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. (“we”, “us”, the “Company” or “DFT”) was formed on March 2, 2007 and is headquartered in Washington, D.C. The Company is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed company formed primarily to own, acquire, develop and operate wholesale data centers. We will elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2007 upon filing our federal income tax return for such year. We are the sole general partner of, and own 53.2% of the economic interest in, DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). Through the Operating Partnership, we hold a fee simple interest in five operating data centers – referred to as ACC2, ACC3, ACC4, VA3, VA4 and CH1, three data center properties under development – referred to as ACC5, NJ1 and SC1 – and land that may be used to develop two additional data centers – which would be referred to as ACC6 and ACC7. For more information regarding these properties, see note 3 to the notes to consolidated financial statements.

We completed our initial public offering of common stock (the “IPO”) on October 24, 2007. The IPO resulted in the sale of 35,075,000 shares of common stock, including 4,575,000 shares as a result of the underwriters exercising their over-allotment option, at a price per share of $21.00, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $736.6 million. The proceeds to the Company, net of underwriters’ discounts, commissions, financial advisory fees and other offering costs, were $676.9 million. We contributed the proceeds of our IPO to our Operating Partnership in exchange for a number of units of limited partnership interest of our Operating Partnership (“OP units”) equal to the number of common shares sold in the IPO.

Prior to August 7, 2007, each of our initial properties, or data centers, was directly owned by a single-property entity. To facilitate the closing of a credit facility with KeyBank National Association (the “KeyBank Credit Facility”) on August 7, 2007 and in contemplation of the IPO, we combined the membership interests in the entities that hold interests in VA3, VA4, ACC2, ACC3 and CH1 into one holding company, Safari Ventures LLC (“Safari”), in order for those membership interests and certain of those properties to serve as collateral for the KeyBank Credit Facility. Following the closing of the KeyBank Credit Facility, each of the former members of the property-holding entities held a direct or indirect equity interest in Safari. Safari made borrowings under the KeyBank Credit Facility to purchase land in Ashburn, Virginia that is being held for use in the development of ACC5 and ACC6. For accounting purposes, Quill Ventures LLC, the entity that owns ACC3, was determined to be the accounting acquirer (the “Predecessor”) based on the guidance in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations, in the Safari transaction, and ACC2, VA3, VA4 and CH1 were determined to be the “Acquired Properties”. The financial position and results of operations of the Predecessor are presented

on a historical cost basis and the contribution of the interests of ACC2, VA3, VA4 and CH1 has been recorded at their estimated fair value. Subsequent to August 6, 2007, Safari is the accounting predecessor, resulting in the recording of the financial position and results of operations of Safari at historical cost basis at the IPO.

Upon completion of the IPO, the Company entered into various formation transactions. The formation transactions included the issuance of 23,045,366 Operating Partnership Units (“OP Units”) and cash payments of $372.5 million (which included $274.0 million of cash used to retire the debt and fund other obligations related to ACC4) for total consideration of $856.5 million for the acquisition of the equity interests in Safari, the entity that owns ACC4 (a data center that was fully completed on October 30, 2007), land that is being held for use in the future development of data centers we refer to as NJ1 and ACC7 and a contract to acquire the land that will be used to develop SC1 and SC2. The contribution of the interests of ACC4 and the two undeveloped parcels of land were recorded at their estimated fair value. The Company also issued 8,116,906 OP units and made a cash payment of $6.1 million for total consideration of $176.5 million for the acquisition of the management, development, leasing, asset management and technical services agreements for these properties.

We derive substantially all of our revenue from rents received from tenants under existing leases at each of our operating properties. Because we believe that critical load is the primary factor that tenants evaluate in choosing a data center, we establish our rents based on both the amount of power that we make available to our tenants and the amount of raised square footage that our tenants are occupying. The relationship between raised square footage and critical load can vary significantly from one facility to the next. For example, a data center that is smaller in terms of raised square footage may contain infrastructure that provides its tenants with critical load that exceeds the power capacity of a data center with a significantly larger footprint.

With respect to operating expenses, we have negotiated expense pass-through provisions in each of our leases under which our tenants are required to pay for most of our operating expenses. In particular, our tenants are required to pay all of their direct operating expenses, including direct electric, as well as their pro rata share of indirect operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance. As we complete the build-out of our development properties, we intend to continue to structure our future leases to contain expense pass-through provisions, which are also referred to as triple net leases.

In the future, we intend to continue our focus on the performance of our initial portfolio of operating properties, as well as our pursuit of growth through the build out and leasing up of our portfolio of development properties. Although each of our initial operating properties is located in Northern Virginia, as we complete the expected build out of our development properties, including the development of planned data centers in suburban Chicago, Illinois, Piscataway, New Jersey and Santa Clara, California, our portfolio of data centers will become more geographically diverse.

Table of Contents
(2) Raised square footage is that portion of gross building area where our tenants locate their computer servers. We consider raised square footage to be the net rentable square footage in each of our facilities. Office and storage space is de minimis.
(3) Critical load (also referred to as IT load or load used by tenants’ servers or related equipment) is the power available for exclusive use by our tenants expressed in terms of megawatt, or MW, or kilowatt, or kW (1 MW is equal to 1,000 kW). In addition to critical load, each of our data centers is designed to provide sufficient additional power to cool our tenants’ servers, which we refer to as essential load.
(4) Percentage leased is expressed as a percentage of critical load that is subject to an executed lease as of July 1, 2008.
(5) Annualized rent is presented for leases executed as of July 1, 2008 on a straight-lined basis over the non-cancellable terms of the respective leases beginning from the date of the most recent amendment to a lease agreement, or from the later of the original date of an agreement if not amended or the acquisition date of the property holding the lease. Annualized rent includes base rent and other rents (including, as applicable, office, storage, parking and cage space) and all historical and future contractual increases to such rents, including any increases that are scheduled to occur subsequent to July 1, 2008. Annualized rent excludes the amortization of above and below market leases. On an annualized basis, this amortization will increase revenue by $7.0 million.
(6) Annualized rent based on actual base rental rates in effect as of July 1, 2008, without giving effect to any future contractual rent increases, equals $8.3 million, $14.6 million, $9.7 million, $16.9 million and $21.2 million for VA3, VA4, ACC2, ACC3 and ACC4, respectively, or $70.7 million in the aggregate.
(7) Annualized management fee recoveries for all leases commenced as of July 1, 2008, as determined from the date of the most recent amendment to a lease agreement, or from the original date of an agreement if not amended, consists of our property management fee, which is a variable fee that our tenants pay in exchange for receiving property management services from us, including general maintenance, operations and administration of each facility. This fee is equal to approximately 5.0% of the sum of (i) base rent, (ii) other rents (including, as applicable, office, storage, parking and cage space) and (iii) estimated recoverable operating expenses allocable to each tenant over the term of the lease other than direct electric, which we define as the cost of the critical and essential load used by a tenant to power and cool its servers. For the purposes of calculating annualized management fee recoveries with respect to each property, we have annualized the property operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
(8) Acquired as a fully-developed property.

Development Projects

The following table presents an overview of our development properties, based on information as of June 30, 2008. Other than ACC7, we intend to develop each of these facilities in two phases in terms of the critical load to be made available in each phase. Due to its smaller size, we plan to develop ACC7 in a single phase. As noted in the table below, we have 223.6 MW of critical load in our development pipeline. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to develop these properties in accordance with the schedules, cost estimates and specifications set forth below, or at all:

(2) Raised square footage is that portion of gross building area where our tenants locate their computer servers. We consider raised square footage to be the net rentable square footage in each of our facilities. Office and storage space is de minimis.
(3) Critical load (also referred to as IT load or load used by tenants’ servers or related equipment) is the power available for exclusive use by our tenants expressed in terms of MW or kW (1 MW is equal to 1,000 kW). In addition to critical load, each of our data centers is designed to provide sufficient additional power to cool our tenants’ servers, which we refer to as essential load. Estimated critical loads for ACC5, SC1, NJ1 and SC2 are based generally on our present intention to employ designs for these facilities similar to our ACC4 prototype. The estimated critical loads for ACC6 and ACC7 are expected to be lower due to constraints imposed on us by the size of the properties.
(4) Includes estimated capitalization for construction and development, including closing costs, capitalized interest and capitalized operating carrying costs, as applicable.
(5) This is the amount capitalized as of June 30, 2008.

Tenant Diversification

As of July 1, 2008, our portfolio was leased to 11 data center tenants, many of which are nationally recognized firms in the technology industry. As of July 1, 2008, our two largest tenants, Microsoft and Yahoo!, accounted for 69.1% of our annualized rent.

Lease Distribution

The following table sets forth information relating to the distribution of leases for VA3, VA4, ACC2, ACC3 and ACC4 based on critical load, in terms of kilowatts or kW, under lease as of July 1, 2008.

(1) Critical load (also referred to as IT load or load used by tenants’ servers or related equipment) is the power available for exclusive use by our tenants expressed in terms of megawatt, or MW, or kilowatt, or kW (1 MW is equal to 1,000 kW). In addition to critical load, each of our data centers is designed to provide sufficient additional power to cool our tenants’ servers, which we refer to as essential load.
(2) Annualized rent is presented for leases that have been executed as of July 1, 2008 on a straight-lined basis over the non-cancellable terms of the respective leases beginning from the later of the date of the most recent amendment to a lease agreement, or from the original date of an agreement if not amended or the acquisition of the property holding the lease. Annualized rent includes base rent and other rents (including, as applicable, office, storage, parking and cage space) and all historical and future contractual increases to such rents, including any increases that are scheduled to occur subsequent to July 1, 2008.

Lease Expirations

The following table sets forth a summary schedule of our operating properties’ lease expirations and the corresponding effects in terms of both raised square feet and critical load for each of the ten full calendar years as of July 1, 2008. The information set forth in the table assumes that tenants exercise no renewal options.

Results of Operations

Since our formation on March 2, 2007 until the IPO on October 24, 2007, we did not have any corporate activity other than the issuance of shares of common stock in connection with the initial capitalization of our Company. Prior to October 24, 2007, operating results are presented for our Predecessor.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2007

Operating Revenue. Operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $42.1 million. This includes base rent of $25.9 million and tenant recoveries of $13.5 million, which includes our property management fee, and other revenue of $2.7 million primarily from projects for our tenants performed by our TRS. This compares to revenue of $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase of $35.7 million is due to revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2007 relating only to ACC3.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $29.4 million. This compares to operating expenses of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase of $26.4 million is the result of expenses incurred in the second quarter of 2007 relating only to ACC3.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $1.6 million. This compares to interest expense of $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Total interest for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $6.2 million, of which $4.6 million was capitalized for the development projects of CH1, NJ1, SC1 and ACC5. The increase in total interest versus prior year is due to the prior year only including ACC3.

Net Income. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $5.9 million. This compares to net income of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase of $5.3 million in net income is due to net income in the second quarter of 2007 being only for ACC3, partially offset by the allocation of $5.2 million of the second quarter 2008 income to minority interests.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2007

Operating Revenue. Operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $83.2 million. This includes base rent of $51.7 million and tenant recoveries of $25.9 million, which includes our property management fee, and other revenue

of $5.5 million primarily from projects for our tenants performed by our TRS. This compares to revenue of $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase of $70.6 million is due to revenue recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2007 relating only to ACC3.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $57.6 million. This compares to operating expenses of $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase of $51.8 million is the result of expenses incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2007 relating only to ACC3.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $4.1 million. This compares to interest expense of $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Total interest for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $12.2 million, of which $8.1 million was capitalized for the development projects of CH1, NJ1, SC1 and ACC5. The increase in total interest versus prior year is due to the prior year only including ACC3.

Net Income. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $11.5 million. This compares to net income of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase of $10.5 million in net income is due to net income in for the six months ended June 30, 2007 being only for ACC3, partially offset by the allocation of $10.2 million of income to minority interests for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We will elect to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2007, upon filing our federal income tax return for 2007. As a REIT we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders on an annualized basis. Therefore, as a general matter, it is unlikely that we will have any substantial cash balances that could be used to meet our liquidity needs, in particular funding of development of ACC5 Phase 1, NJ1 Phase 1 and SC1 Phase 1, summarized on page 22. Instead, we will need to meet these needs primarily from external sources of capital and, to a lesser extent, cash generated from operations. In addition, our liquidity may be negatively impacted by unanticipated increases in project development cost (including the cost of labor and materials and construction delays), and rising interest rates.

We intend to meet our short-term liquidity needs through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, through new long-term indebtedness or construction loans, borrowings under our revolving facility and CH1 construction loan, collateralizing ACC4 and/or equity financings. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs through long-term secured borrowings and the issuance of additional equity and debt securities when market conditions permit. In determining the source of capital to meet our long-term liquidity needs, we will evaluate our level of indebtedness and leverage ratio, our cash flow expectations, the state of the capital markets, interest rates and other terms for borrowing, and the relative timing considerations and costs of borrowing or issuing additional securities.

KeyBank Credit Facility

On August 7, 2007, we entered into a $275.0 million revolving credit facility and a $200.0 million term loan (together the “KeyBank Credit Facility”), both of which were arranged by KeyBank National Association and each of which is secured by VA3, VA4, ACC2 and ACC3. As of June 30, 2008, there was $200.0 million outstanding under the term loan and $62.0 million outstanding under the revolving facility, which currently has a maximum capacity of $275.0 million. The terms of the revolving facility include an accordion feature, which would enable us to increase the amount of the revolving facility by up to $200.0 million to a total borrowing capacity of $475.0 million depending on certain factors, including the value of and debt service on the properties included in our borrowing base, the possibility that we may need to add properties to the borrowing base and the agreement of participating lenders to fund the increased amount. The revolving facility matures on August 7, 2010, but includes an option whereby we may elect, once, to extend the maturity date by 12 months. The term loan is an interest only loan with the full principal amount due on maturity at August 7, 2011, with no option to extend.

As of June 30, 2008, the interest rate on our term loan was LIBOR (2.4625% at June 30, 2008) plus 1.50%, although we have effectively fixed the interest rate at 6.497% through the use of an interest rate swap. As of June 30, 2008, the interest rate associated with the revolving facility is LIBOR plus 1.25%. Future interest rates on the revolving facility will depend on our applicable leverage ratio, which is defined by our credit agreement as the ratio of our total consolidated indebtedness to our gross asset value, as set forth in the following schedule:

 

Applicable Leverage Ratio

   Applicable Interest Rate  

Less than 40%

   LIBOR plus 1.25 %

Greater than or equal to 40% but less than 50%

   LIBOR plus 1.40 %

Greater than or equal to 50% but less than 60%

   LIBOR plus 1.60 %

Greater than or equal to 60%

   LIBOR plus 1.70 %

Table of Contents

Four of our properties–VA3, VA4, ACC2 and ACC3–comprise our current borrowing base. In the future, we may add additional properties to our borrowing base, which would subject those properties to additional restrictions. Also, any equity interest that we may hold in any of our properties, whether or not included in our borrowing base, will provide additional collateral with respect to our term loan and revolving facility.

The credit agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily found in facilities of this type, including limits on our ability to engage in merger and other similar transactions, as well as requirements that we comply with the following covenants on a consolidated basis: (i) consolidated total debt shall not exceed 65% of our asset value, (ii) debt service coverage shall not be less than 1.35 to 1.0, (iii) total leverage shall not exceed 65% of the appraised value of the properties, (iv) adjusted consolidated EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges shall not be less than 1.45 to 1.0, (v) the consolidated net worth shall not be less than 85% of the net proceeds of the IPO plus 75% of the sum of (a) any additional offering proceeds occurring after the IPO and (b) the value of interests in the Company issued upon the contribution of assets to the Company and (vi) unhedged variable rate debt of the company shall not exceed 35% of the Company’s asset value. Upon completion of the IPO, we assumed this credit agreement and became subject to the covenants in accordance with the credit agreement. As of June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all covenants in this credit agreement.

On August 15, 2007, we entered into a $200.0 million interest rate swap with KeyBank National Association to manage the interest rate risk associated with a portion of the principal amount outstanding under our credit agreement effective August 17, 2007. This swap agreement effectively fixes the interest rate on $200.0 million of the principal amount at 4.997% plus the applicable credit spread, which is 1.50%. We have designated this agreement as a hedge for accounting purposes. As of June 30, 2008, the cumulative reduction in the fair value of the interest rate swap of $7.2 million was recognized as a liability and recorded as other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity and no amounts were recognized in earnings as hedge ineffectiveness.

CH1 Mortgage

On December 20, 2007, we entered into a $148.9 million construction loan to which CH1 is currently pledged as collateral. As of June 30, 2008, amounts outstanding under this loan totaled $119.7 million. This loan bears interest at LIBOR (2.4625% at June 30, 2008) plus 2.25% and currently requires interest-only payments. This loan matures on December 20, 2009, with a one-time option to extend the maturity for a period of 12 months subject to customary conditions. Prepayment is permitted subject to payment of certain breakage costs incurred by the lender.

The loan includes certain customary covenants, including without limitation, maintaining insurance on the property, payment of taxes and providing financial reports. The loan also provides for customary events of default, including failure to pay a sum due, the occurrence of a material adverse effect to CH1, borrower or the Operating Partnership, and the occurrence of a change of control. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the loan, the lender may accelerate the obligation and declare amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable, may withhold disbursements and may take possession of the property. As of June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants related to this loan.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As June 30, 2008, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Discussion of Cash Flows

Six Months Ended June, 2008 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2007

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $27.0 million to $26.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to cash used of $0.5 million for the year ago period. This increase is due to operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 being only for ACC3.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $88.4 million to $89.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $1.1 million for the year ago period. Cash used in investing for the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily consisted of expenditures for the development of CH1, NJ1, SC1 and ACC5. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, cash used in investing activities consisted of capital expenditures at ACC3.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $49.5 million to $61.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $12.4 million for the year ago period. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily consisted of $85.0 million of proceeds from the KeyBank Credit Facility and the CH1 mortgage, partially offset by the payment of $22.6 million of dividends and distributions. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, cash provided by financing activities consisted of $14.1 million of proceeds from the ACC3 mortgage, partially offset by repayment of the ACC3 mortgage of $0.9 million and related party borrowings of $0.8 million.

Funds From Operations

Funds From Operations, or FFO, is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure for REITs. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

We use FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating expenses. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited.

While Funds From Operations is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of equity REITs, other equity REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Funds From Operations and, accordingly, Funds From Operations as disclosed by such other REITs may not be comparable to Funds From Operations published herein. Therefore, we believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, Funds From Operations should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Funds From Operations should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the properties’ financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net income to FFO (in thousands):

Related Party Transactions

Leasing Arrangements

As of June 30, 2008, we leased approximately 9,337 square feet of office space at 1212 New York Avenue, NW in Washington, D.C., an office building owned by entities affiliated with our Executive Chairman and our President and CEO. The leased space is comprised of the original space of 6,757 square feet and an additional expansion space of 2,580 square feet (effective February 1, 2008). Under the terms of the lease for the original 6,757 square feet, we are required to pay $21,535 per month in rent until September 17, 2008, and then $22,181 per month until the end of the lease in addition to our pro rata share of any increase in real estate taxes over the base year. The lease relating to the original space expires on September 17, 2009; however, we have four options to renew for periods of five years each. Under the lease terms for the additional expansion space of 2,580 square feet, which is under lease until September 2014, we are required to pay an additional $7,993 per month in rent, which escalates 3% per annum. We believe that the terms of this lease are fair and reasonable and reflect the terms we could expect to obtain in an arm’s-length transaction for comparable space elsewhere in Washington, D.C.

Inflation

Our leases all contain annual rent increases. As a result, we believe that we are largely insulated from the effects of inflation. However, our general and administrative expenses can increase with inflation, most of which we do not expect that we will be able to pass along to our tenants. Additionally, any increases in the costs of development of our properties will

Table of Contents

generally result in a higher cost of the property, which will result in increased cash requirements to develop our properties and increased depreciation expense in future periods, and, in some circumstances, we may not be able to directly pass along the increase in these development costs to our tenants in the form of higher rents.

Critical Accounting Policies

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities–Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits an entity to elect to measure eligible items at fair value (“fair value option”) including many financial instruments. The objective of this statement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The provisions of this statement were effective for us as of January 1, 2008. If the fair value option is elected, the Company would report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. The fair value option may be applied for a single eligible item without electing it for other identical items, with certain exceptions, and must be applied to the entire eligible item and not to a portion of the eligible item. The Company did not elect the fair value option with respect to any eligible item and, therefore, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. This statement changes the accounting for acquisitions specifically eliminating the step acquisition model, changing the recognition of contingent consideration from being recognized when it is probable to being recognized at the time of acquisition, disallowing the capitalization of transaction costs and delays when restructurings related to acquisitions can be recognized. The standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008 and will impact the accounting only for acquisitions we make after its adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51. Under this statement, noncontrolling interests are considered equity and thus our practice of reporting minority interests in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet will be eliminated. Also, under the new standard, net income will encompass the total income of all consolidated subsidiaries and there will be separate disclosure on the face of the income statement of the attribution of that income between controlling and noncontrolling interests. Last increases and decreases in noncontrolling interests will be treated as equity transactions. The standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In 2007, we received three Notice of Violation from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (“VDEQ”) related to generators at three of our facilities. First, in March 2007, we were cited by the VDEQ compliance office about our emissions from the ACC2 diesel generators exceeding short-term emission limits. Second, on October 5, 2007, we received a notice of violation from VDEQ regarding certain diesel generators at ACC4. The notice asserts that construction and operation of the generators was commenced prior to receiving a required air permit from VDEQ for construction and operation of the generators and that the generators have been operating since June 2007 without an air permit. Third, on October 19, 2007, we received a notice of violation from VDEQ regarding certain diesel generators at one of our facilities in Northern Virginia, VA4. The notice asserts that the operation of our generators has not been in conformity with our air permit and that certain equipment added to the generators to reduce emissions has not been constructed, tested, and maintained in compliance with applicable regulations.

On August 4, 2008, we entered into a consent order with the VDEQ to resolve these matters. The order provides that we will pay a $ 0.5 million civil penalty and undertake various remedial actions to bring the facilities into compliance and reduce future emissions, including installation of pollution control equipment at certain facilities, at an estimated cost of $2.1 million, of which $0.7 million has been incurred and the remainder has been accrued at June 30, 2008.
